“Ji Yanjun?” Zhang Fangfang stared blankly at Su Hongmei.
"right."
"Will Yanjun come to help?"
"Yes, he will definitely help," Su Hongmei said firmly.
"Let's go," the police officer urged.
Zhang Fangfang panicked immediately, gripping Su Hongmei's arm tightly, her voice trembling as she cried out, "Auntie!"
"Lady, please don't make us use force." The police officer's voice was harsh.
Zhang Fangfang and Su Hongmei were both startled.
The customers demanding an explanation looked at Zhang Fangfang with disdain, thinking that anyone who dared to make counterfeit goods should be punished accordingly.
"Fangfang, you go first," Su Hongmei urged.
"Auntie."
“Fangfang, don’t worry. I’ll go back to the county town right now to find your uncle and Ji Yanjun. Ji Yanjun will definitely help us, and they will definitely clear our names,” Su Hongmei said.
Zhang Fangfang was almost in tears. So many people had seen her make a fool of herself and go to the police station. At that moment, she wasn't thinking about whether she was ashamed or not, but whether she would go to jail. The country is here to crack down on counterfeits.
"Auntie, you must help me," Zhang Fangfang said, her voice trembling with tears.
“I know, I know,” Su Hongmei said repeatedly.
No one dares to disobey the police.
"Let's go." At the police officer's command, the customers automatically parted to make way for him.
Wen Qing stepped forward and asked, "Officer, is there anything I can do for you in this matter?"
The police officer glanced at Wen Qing and said, "No need, this matter has nothing to do with your Fengqing Clothing Store."
Aunt Xiao and Bao Hong were overjoyed upon hearing this.
Wen Qing's expression remained calm.
The police officers looked at Zhang Xiuying and said, "You must cooperate with the investigation at any time."
"Yes, yes, yes," Zhang Xiuying quickly agreed.
"You two take a count: how many substandard products are on site, and how many have been sold in total?" the police officer said to his companion.
“Yes,” his companion replied.
Then, the police officers walked ahead, and Zhang Fangfang followed with her head down.
The onlookers were all pointing and whispering about her.
"So young, yet so wicked."
"That's right, not only did they imitate Feng Qing's clothing style and make counterfeit goods, but they also blamed Wen Qing."
"Yes, it's disgusting."
"..."
Zhang Fangfang lowered her head even further, wishing she could tear Wen Qing to pieces, but hatred was useless; she still had to obediently follow the police officers.
As soon as the leading police officer left with Zhang Fangfang, the already unsettled pedestrian street became even noisier.
First, everyone is spreading rumors that Su Fang Clothing Store sells counterfeit goods.
Secondly, the remaining police officers are compiling the statistics and have promised that the police station will give everyone a satisfactory explanation.
Regardless of which of these two types of uproar, Su Fang Clothing Store's bad reputation spread, while Feng Qing Clothing Store's good reputation also spread.
"The owner of Fengqing is a young girl, and she's really pretty."
"Did you know? It turns out that Su Fang's clothing designs are all copied from Wen Qing's. Wen Qing even has the sketches, and her 'Feng Qing' name is already a trademark!"
Where is Fengqing Clothing Store?
"At DaMo Plaza, if Wen Qing hadn't explained it to me today, I really wouldn't have known that Feng Qing's clothes represented so many meanings. They're truly unique."
"..."
These words reached the ears of Aunt Xiao, Zhang Xiuying, and Bao Hong. The three were happy for Wen Qing, but their happiness was short-lived. They saw Su Hongmei hurriedly come out of Su Fang's clothing store, her eyes fixed on the pedestrian street with a very serious expression.
Bao Hong whispered, "She went to get reinforcements."
Aunt Xiao looked at Wen Qing and added, "I heard it's about moving Ji Yanjun."
Zhang Xiuying also looked at Wen Qing.
All three knew about the incident when the Ji family caused trouble at Fengqing Garment Shop, and they also had a general idea of the relationship between Wen Qing and Ji Yanjun.
However, Wen Qing's face remained completely expressionless at this moment.
Wen Qing looked at Zhang Xiuying and said, "Thank you, Sister Zhang."
Zhang Xiuying smiled and said softly, "I'm just being reasonable, not biased."
Wen Qing smiled, then looked at Aunt Xiao and Bao Hong: "Let's hurry back. After this incident, our store's business will definitely be booming."
“But the police officers here haven’t left yet,” Bao Hong said.
Wen Qing asked, "Didn't you hear what the police officer in charge just said? This matter has nothing to do with us."
"So, shall we go back now?" Bao Hong asked.
“Yes.” Wen Qing said, “Let’s go back and make and sell clothes.”
Then Wen Qing, Aunt Xiao, and Bao Hong said goodbye to Zhang Xiuying, left the pedestrian street, and walked towards Damo Plaza.
As soon as I returned to Fengqing Clothing Store, a large number of customers flocked in to buy clothes.
Aunt Xiao and Bao Hong immediately got busy, and Wen Qing also got busy.
It wasn't until she had some free time that Wen Qing mentioned that she was going back to school.
Aunt Xiao then mentioned to Wen Qing, "I heard Su Hongmei say that if we find Ji Yanjun, the matter will be resolved."
Wen Qing: "Yes, Ji Yanjun has a wide network of connections."
"Then..." Aunt Xiao paused for a moment. She had never met Ji Yanjun, but she had met Ji Yanjun's mother and sister, two extremely difficult people who did everything they could to make things difficult for Wen Qing. Would Ji Yanjun also make things difficult for Wen Qing?
"What?" Wen Qing asked with a smile.
Aunt Xiao finally spoke up: "Judging from Su Hongmei's tone, Ji Yanjun and Zhang Fangfang seem to have a very good relationship?"
Wen Qing nodded and said, "Yes, Zhang Fangfang's uncle's family is very close to the Ji family, and the two families have always had a good relationship. Zhang Fangfang spent a long time in the county town when she was a child, and she and Ji Yanjun were... childhood sweethearts."
Childhood sweethearts?
This word... made Aunt Xiao frown: "Will Ji Yanjun help Zhang Fangfang deal with us? After all, Zhang Fangfang suffered a big setback with us."
Wen Qing fell silent upon hearing this, recalling how Zhang Fangfang had repeatedly portrayed herself as a victim in front of Ji Yanjun in her past life. Although Ji Yanjun hadn't spoken up for her, he hadn't sided with Zhang Fangfang either. Wen Qing couldn't help but utter, "No way...right?" She ultimately added the word "right."
Hearing Qing say this, Aunt Xiao became somewhat worried: "Then what should we do?"
Wen Qing looked at Aunt Xiao and smiled: "What are you afraid of? I'll take on one if one comes, and two if two come."
“But if Ji Yanjun has a wide network of connections, then we…”
“We have the capability,” Wen Qing said with a smile. “Aunt Xiao, trust me.”
Aunt Xiao looked up at Wen Qing and saw fearlessness, determination, and something trustworthy in Wen Qing's eyes. Aunt Xiao was moved and said, "Yes, Wen Qing, I believe in you, and I believe that our Feng Qing will get better and better."
“Yes.” Wen Qing said with a smile, and then Wen Qing talked to Aunt Xiao about some ideas on the need to hire more people for the shop.
Aunt Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this."
"Okay." Wen Qing nodded, then slung her backpack over her shoulder, left DaMo Plaza, and headed towards Green Garden.
As she walked, she wondered how Ji Yanjun would handle Zhang Fangfang's case. Would he overturn the verdict and countersue her?
Wen Qing couldn't figure out the answer, nor could she imagine what kind of uproar the Ji family would be stirred up because of Zhang Fangfang's accident. Su Hongmei should have arrived in the county town by now, right?
In fact, Su Hongmei not only went to the county town, but also took Zhang Fangfang's uncle straight to the Ji family. As soon as they arrived at the Ji family, Su Hongmei burst into tears, begging Liang Wenhua to save Zhang Fangfang.
Liang Wenhua and Ji Yousheng were taken aback and asked, "What happened? What's wrong with Fangfang?"
Su Hongmei knew that Liang Wenhua disliked Wen Qing, so she tried her best to blame everything on Wen Qing.
Upon hearing this, Liang Wenhua was indeed furious and said unhappily, "It's Wen Qing again. She never stops causing trouble."
"Wenhua, wait until Aunt Fangfang finishes speaking. Why is everything being blamed on Wenqing?" Ji Yousheng said the last sentence in a very low voice, almost only he could hear it.
Su Hongmei continued, saying that everyone had wronged Zhang Fangfang, but the police still took Zhang Fangfang to the police station.
"Taken to the police station?" Liang Wenhua and Ji Yousheng asked at the same time. "Taken to the police station" is no small matter.
"Yes." Su Hongmei nodded, crying.
"Wen Qing went too far. Zhang Fangfang is a young woman. Even if she made a mistake, she shouldn't be sent to the police station. Isn't that ruining her reputation? Besides, it's just a few identical pieces of clothing. So what if they're identical? Does that mean you're allowed to sell steamed buns but I'm not? That's so petty!" Liang Wenhua said angrily.
The more Liang Wenhua talked, the more Su Hongmei cried: "What are we going to do! We don't even know what kind of place the police station is. Fangfang is such a delicate young lady, how can she stand this!"
Su Hongmei cried out in anguish, recounting how good Zhang Fangfang had been to Ji Yanjun, Liang Wenhua, Ji Yousheng, and Ji Ningzhi.
Zhang Fangfang remained steadfast in her feelings for Ji Yanjun.
Zhang Fangfang was very concerned about Liang Wenhua.
Zhang Fangfang respected and revered Ji Yousheng.
Zhang Fangfang showed great care and affection for Ji Ningzhi.
Ji Yousheng and Liang Wenhua felt embarrassed by Zhang Fangfang's crying. Before Zhang Fangfang's uncle could speak, Liang Wenhua spoke first: "Yousheng, I remember that Yanjun has some friends who are police officers. Why don't we have Yanjun ask about the situation? It's not good for Fangfang, a young girl, to be in the police station, right?"
“Okay, give Yanjun a phone number and ask him to use his connections to inquire about the situation,” Ji Yousheng said.
"Thank you, thank you," Su Hongmei said, wiping away her tears.
Zhang Fangfang's uncle was also speaking from the side.
Ji Yousheng got up and walked to the telephone in front of the table. He took out a phone book from the drawer, flipped through a few pages, and began dialing numbers.
Liang Wenhua, Su Hongmei, and Zhang Fangfang's uncle listened intently from the side.
A moment later, the call connected, and Gangzi's voice came through: "Hello, this is Gangzi. Who is this?"
Ji Yousheng quickly said, "It's Gangzi, I'm Yanjun's dad."
Gangzi immediately said politely, "Uncle, hello, hello."
Ji Yousheng asked with a smile, "Gangzi, is Yanjun there? Can you let Yanjun answer the phone? I need to talk to him about something."
"Yanjun? Uncle, didn't you know that Yanjun went back a few days ago?" Gangzi asked.
Ji Yousheng was taken aback: "Go back where?"
"Nanzhou, I reckon he's already gotten off the train by now," Gangzi said.
Ji Yousheng hung up the phone with mixed feelings.
Liang Wenhua and Su Hongmei asked at the same time, "How is it? How is it? What did Yanjun say?"
Ji Yousheng said directly, "Yanjun has already returned."
Liang Wenhua asked in surprise, "Where is that person?"
"have no idea."
"How could I not know?" Liang Wenhua asked, puzzled.
Ji Yousheng said, "Yanjun left three days ago and should be back at Nanzhou Railway Station now, but we don't know that."
Liang Wenhua was stunned. She knew her son well. To avoid worrying her, he would call her whenever he went on a business trip to a different place. But since he ran away from home this time, he hadn't told her anything.
this……
“Then let’s go to the train station to find Yanjun!” Su Hongmei said.
“Yes, go to the train station to look!” Liang Wenhua immediately agreed, wanting to ask Ji Yanjun what he was up to.
As he spoke, Liang Wenhua began to pack up, preparing to go to the train station.
At this moment, Ji Yanjun, wearing a gray long-sleeved shirt and black pants, looked handsome but somewhat tired as he came out of the exit of Nanzhou Railway Station carrying a military green package.
After leaving, he didn't take a bus back to the county town, but instead headed towards Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School. However, it happened to be Sunday, and there were very few students at Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School.
Last time, he didn't think to ask Wen Qing's homeroom teacher for Wen Qing's address, but this time he did. He asked the old man who looked after the school and found the address of the homeroom teacher, Teacher Zhao. However, Teacher Zhao had gone back to the countryside and hadn't returned yet.
Frustrated, Ji Yanjun slammed his green bag down on Teacher Zhao's door, frowned, sat on the bag, and took out a cigarette to smoke.
